3 of the best free shows you can stream right now on Tubi

Finding TV shows to watch on Tubi can feel like endlessly scouring the channels on a weekday afternoon during the heyday of cable TV, on a day off from work or school Tubi is one of the best free streaming services, but with over 20,000 titles available, the The choices are dizzying.

Tubi's TV selection includes everything from early classics to forgotten oddities to recent hits, all punctuated by relatively minimal commercials. The platform combines the old-fashioned TV experience of random discovery with the convenience of modern on-demand streaming.

If you're looking to start a new TV trifecta with Tubi, or just want to binge watch casually, here are three great shows that are well worth your time.

After Roseanne Barr left her sitcom “Roseanne,” it seemed impossible for the show to continue. However, “The Conners” proved that the Conner family was more than adequate to have a stand-alone show and honored the “Roseanne” legacy of telling funny and relatable stories about working-class struggles and family solidarity.

John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Lecy Goranson, Sarah Gilbert, and Michael Fishman return as members of the Connor family, with Emma Kenny, Ames McNamara, and Jaden Ray joining them as the next generation of Connors. Dan Connor, played by Goodman, is an aging, sarcastic patriarch, while Darlene Connor, played by Gilbert, is a pragmatic daughter who holds the bickering but loving family together.

As “The Bachelor” and its spin-offs continue to dominate reality TV, this dark drama about the behind-the-scenes of a reality show similar to “The Bachelor” called “Everlasting” seems more timely than ever. The “Bachelor” has yet to be as upsetting as “Everlasting” over the four seasons of “Unreal,” with all the sabotage, rampant drug abuse, and literal murders that occur on “Everlasting. Unreal” itself has become as much an addictive soap opera as it is a reality show.”

Cyri Appleby and Constance Zimmer are excellent as Frenemy, who is responsible for keeping “Everlasting” on track through a series of backstage mishaps. Rachel Goldberg, who plays Appleby, is a master at manipulating the emotions of the contestants to get the show's desired results, even though her own personal life is in shambles. Her willingness to ruin lives and relationships to make must-see television is fascinating and at times horrifying.

“It stinks!” may not be as famous a line as “Two thumbs up,” but it has proven its worth as a shorthand for certain film criticism. It is the catchphrase of the title character of the animated comedy “The Critic,” and is given to every movie monster. Shy film critic Jay Sherman (voiced by Jon Lovitz) tries to educate television audiences about quality films, but his corporate boss is not interested in high art.

Created by veteran “The Simpsons” writer-producers Al Jean and Mike Rice, “The Critic” features a similar mix of sarcastic humor, pop culture references, and smart satire with a little heart. The Critic lasted only two seasons, but has since become a cult classic, much like the movie Jay Sherman might have recommended on his show.
